NBA legend Paul Pierce responded to the sentiment, saying that Antetokounmpo should start looking for his next chapter, especially for most of next season, where Damian Lillard’s Achilles injury could put him in the roster, while the Bucks lack assets to improve the roster. “Of course, he needs some fresh air,” Pierce said in the latest tickets and truth podcast. “It’s a conversation, like, ‘Look, I handed me all over to the Milwaukee Organization. I appreciate everything you’ve done to grow my career, but I think we have to come together to see what else is there for me.’ “Even if he has 2 years left in the deal, I think it’s a mutual thing to respect him and allow him to find a place to go, elevating him to be the best player in the world, or challenging chips because he’s too good at this point in his career to ride. “Giannis is 30, so he's getting older 6-7,” he continued. “It's some difficult conversation between him and his master. This marriage is over.”
